Nope. I had stopped using a bundt pan because they notoriously would stick.
So I bought a non stick pan which although non-stick advised me to grease
and flour the pan but do NOT use a spray like Pam.
I wanted to be doubly sure it wouldn't stick and found instructions that
said.
1. place a large towel in the sink just as your cake finishes baking.
2. Pour boiling water on the towel and place the cake pan on the towel.
3. Leave for 10 seconds.
4. Take the pan out of the sink leaving the towel and invert on rack.
I've never had a wet counter from a cake on a rack, so I can't advise you on
that.
I don't know if it would work for other pans as I've never had a problem
with anything but the bundt pan.
Here is the complete file I received.

towel, pan side down, and leave it for ten seconds.

To unmold (bundt pan). Place Cake pan right out of the oven onto a towel
in the sink soaked with boiling water. Invert onto rack.
I have a problem unmolding ALL my cakes, regardless of the pan. I usually
spray the bottom and sides lightly with canola and spread with my fingers.
I have tried flouring the pan too.
If I'm reading the instructions above correctly, you invert the pan onto a
rack with the hot, wet towel draped over the pan? Not sure how this works
since the pan is already hot? And does it work for all pans? When I invert
on a rack the stone counter surface always gets really wet so I usually
place on the grates of the stove.
What are the other secrets of unmolding?
Thanks,
